The Sri Lankan referee seemed to signal an inner edge to the players of England in the middle of the call, a moment which sparked a debate through the world of cricket.Live score: India vs England 5th testThe incident occurred in the 13th in the first rounds of India.

When Dharmasena began to arbitrate, there was no DRS, but now you do not have to give a signal as to what you think. It should not have done it.”
Bangar’s frank assessment reflects a broader concern concerning the impartiality and clarity of the modern referee, in particular with the DRS system in place, which removes the need for these indices.
